Hi Eileen,
My tongue is looking beautiful - just had a visit to the dentist for a cleaning two days ago. I've been taking zinc right along too - so it isn't that.

I'm going back to the doc on Thursday for a work up to figure out why my weight loss persists. I don't think the taste changes are related to the weight loss issue because the changes have only been around only for the past couple of weeks...but hopefully the doctor will offer an explanation for the recent changes...
